Nelly's Italian Cafe & Pizza

I've tried almost everything on the menu since going here, and love everything I've eaten. The meatballs and lasagna are my absolute favorite. The meatballs are about the size of a baseball. The sicilian Pizza was great. They have so many great options to choose from I could keep going on but those are just some of my go to favorites when I visit this place. If you haven't tried it you definitely should your missing out if you dont.

We tried the pizza with jalapeños and hot honey, the meat double pizza thing and garlic knots. The garlic knots were not my favorite but were pretty good. The pizza was delightful! We are definitely going back to try other things!

10/14/2025 at 11:30 a.m. Walked in and greeted right away. Asked if we had any questions. Runner was cleaning off tables. Place very clean. Bathrooms very clean and stocked, too. Got the “moma Pizza” slice, pepperoni stromboli, 1/2 garlic knots and fountain drink all for $27.43. Pizza had pepperoni, jalapeño, Hoy-honey sauce. Pizza slice was huge, hot, too heavy to pick up at first bite. We give the Pizza rating a 9.5. also got a pepperoni Stromboli, which I would give a 9.4 as well, and the garlic knots were the best I ever had which I would give a 9.9 out of 10. wish Nelly’s wasn’t so far from Nashville. Will definitely make the drive again. It was well worth it.

Small place but the pizza and garlic knots are amazing. People that work there are friendly and work hard to get the orders out. Would definitely go again.

The service here is EXCEPTIONAL! Super Friendly, welcoming, and great vibes! Pizza is very good! I enjoy a thin crust very NYC style. They also have a Chicago style option which my friend enjoyed. We had the tiramisu and it was okay, I would’ve like it to be sweeter. Overall, definitely recommend if you’re looking for a great pizza by the slice place in the area!
